Under the Wildlife Conservation Act of 1972, the Government of Himachal Pradesh designated the Pong reservoir as a Pong Dam sanctuary for the propagation and protection of wildlife. In 2002, it was established as a Ramsar site.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rakkh <a href=\"https:\/\/rakkh.com\/local-experiences-at-rakkh-resort-himachal-pradesh.html\">Luxury Resort in Dharamshala<\/a> offers a chance to fully live life &#8211; experiencing real quiet beyond the typical frantic pace of life; indulging silence amid a flurry of thoughts and opinions; embracing genuine connectedness behind the facades; sharing real life beyond existence.

400;\">The Pong Wetland is located in Himachal Pradesh&#8217;s Kangra District.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Pong Dam, built over the Beas River in 1974, created one of Northern India&#8217;s most prominent artificial wetlands.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is the first significant wetland that provides a temporary resting area for migratory birds migrating from the Trans Himalayan zone in the winter when the wetlands in Europe, North and Central Asia freeze due to winter&#8217;s arrival.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Every year throughout the winter months of October to March, flocks of waterfowl that breed in these areas in the summer migrate to Pong to spend the winter in more pleasant climatic conditions.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The whole catchment area spans the districts of Kangra, Mandi, and Kullu.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Dhauladhar Mountains are a source of water for Pong Lake.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many prominent and minor rivers from the Dhauladhar hills, some perennial and others seasonal, including Dehar, Bhul, Gaj, Baner, Nekar, and others, immediately drain into Pong Dam.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rancer, Karu, Kajal-ka-tapu, and Jattaan da Kual are the four major islands in the Pong reservoir.<\/span><\/li><\/ul><p><b>Conservation Status<\/b><\/p><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pong Wetland was declared a Wildlife (Bird) Sanctuary by the Himachal Pradesh government in 1983.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In 1994, the Ministry of Environment and Forests of the Government of India designated Pong Dam Lake Wildlife Sanctuary as a Wetland of National Importance.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The wetland was named to the global list of specially designated sites.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the year 2002, this was the state&#8217;s first wetland to be designated as a &#8220;RAMSAR SITE,&#8221; giving it international protection.<\/span><\/li><\/ul><p><b>Climate<\/b><\/p><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"

style=\"font-weight: 400;\">More than 420 species of birds have been reported in the Pong wetland, representing 56 of the 77 bird groups found in India.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"

classified as a catfish reservoir.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mahseer is the most valuable and sought-after fish in the Pong reservoir.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pong Lake is home to 85 different butterfly species.<\/span><\/li><\/ul><p><b>Zones of the

wetland.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The marsh has been home to rare species such as Vultures, Falcons, Indian Skimmers, Red Necked Grebes, White Fronted Geese, and many Waders.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">More than 40% of the world&#8217;s population is made up of Bar Headed Geese who flock to Pong in enormous numbers.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This makes the Pong wetland not just India&#8217;s but also the world&#8217;s largest single gathering spot for Bar Headed Geese.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In and

Dam is perhaps the country&#8217;s sole reservoir where Mahseer fishing is possible.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pong Dam Lake&#8217;s position is ideal for fishing.<\/span><\/li><\/ul><p><b>Concerns<\/b><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">During the summer, the lake&#8217;s temperature can reach 47 degrees Celsius, which can diminish the oxygen concentration in the water.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As this wetland is glacier-fed, the implications of global warming on the wetland must be considered, as must the consequences of building dams above streams, water diversion for drinking, irrigation, and hydropower, among other
